    Riv's are known as "E" bodies in GM-speak. Their frame just happens to be in the shape of an "X". X-bodies came later with the Apollo and Skylark of the mid to late '70's which were built on the Chevy Nova body.

    Although they are all E-bodies, not much swaps, since the Toro and Eldo are FWD
